Chapter 1428
The second floor of this shop looked a little empty, but there were some scrolls on the walls and some spirit herbs everywhere. These decorations seemed to have taken a lot of effort. Although Xiao Hua didn't understand, he could still see a trace of elegance. It was much more comfortable than the first floor that was purely selling things.
After the shop assistant served some spirit fruits, he asked Xiao Hua and Xue Xue to sit on the few chairs on the second floor. He went straight up the stairs to the third floor.
Xiao Hua picked up a spirit fruit and put it in his mouth. He gently bit into it, and a juice full of the taste of wine flowed down his throat. Then, a kind of drunken feeling rushed into his mind. Xiao Hua had never liked the taste of wine, and even more so, the feeling of drunkenness. He didn't expect this spirit fruit to be like this. He couldn't help but frown. He immediately mobilized his True Qi, wanting to expel this disgusting feeling!
Xue Xue looked at him with interest. She also took this kind of spirit fruit, but she didn't put it in her mouth. Seeing Xiao Hua frown and a trace of redness on his face, she said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is a Heart Intoxication Fruit. It's the favorite of male cultivators. Fellow Daoist shouldn't use True Qi to regulate his breathing. Otherwise, the feeling of drunkenness will be greatly reduced …"
"The feeling of drunkenness …" Xiao Hua felt waves of faint in his mind. He bitterly smiled in his heart and said, "This feeling … what's so good about it?"
However, this dizziness was also very light. It didn't seem to affect the circulation of True Qi in Xiao Hua's mind, and it wouldn't put him in a dangerous situation.
A moment later, the dizziness suddenly disappeared, and an unprecedented comfort came from his brain. That comfort was like a tide that flowed down from the top of his head, and quickly spread throughout his body. "Ah …" An instinctive groan came out from Xiao Hua's mouth …
As soon as this sound came out, Xiao Hua felt that something was wrong. But then, another seductive sound came from Xue Xue's mouth. Xue Xue's eyes were slightly closed, and her face was flushed. Her cherry red lips were also slightly closed. She was obviously enjoying it.
"There … there's no mistake!"
When Xiao Hua saw this, his little heart couldn't help but slightly jump. Even his mouth was a little dry. He smacked his lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao … how do you feel?"
Xue Xue Xue opened her somewhat blurred eyes. Her voice carried a moan as she asked faintly.
"Very … Very good!" Xiao Hua trembled and hurriedly replied.
"Fellow Daoist … you don't want to enjoy another one?" Xue Xue asked again.
Xiao Hua was in a slightly sorry state. His conditioned reflex was to wave his hand, but just as he raised his hand, he saw a trace of craftiness in Xue Xue's eyes. His heart stirred. He stretched out his hand, picked up a Heart Intoxication Fruit, and said with a smile, "I … am risking my life to accompany a beauty. If Fellow Daoist Xue wants to eat, then I will also eat one!"
"Beauty?
Hehe … "Xue Xue's eyes regained their clarity. She covered her mouth and laughed," No one has called me I that for many years!
Fellow Daoist Xiao … is truly different from the rest! "
"Really?
I feel that it is precisely because Fellow Daoist Xue is different that I am different! "Xiao Hua looked at the Heart Intoxication Fruit in his hand and said with a smile.
"Hahaha ~" Xue Xue laughed very straightforwardly and said, "Eating one Heart Intoxication Fruit every day is the most suitable. If you eat too many, it will be detrimental to your Dao Heart. I won't eat it. Fellow Daoist Xiao also doesn't need to risk his life!"
"Hehe, thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Xue!" Xiao Hua smiled and also put the Heart Intoxication Fruit into the jade plate!
"Fellow Daoists, I've been waiting for a long time!"
At this moment, a somewhat aged voice came from the stairs. An old man about fifty years old, about the tenth level of Qi Refinement, walked down the stairs and cupped his hands in greeting.
Xiao Hua and Xue Xue both stood up. Xue Xue returned the greeting and said, "Greetings, Shopkeeper Liu. I came to the store several times, but I didn't see your figure!"
"Hehe, I am indebted to Fellow Daoist Xue. I's body can't compare to Fellow Daoist's, but it's still alright.
These past few days, there were some unforeseen events in the sect, so I left for a period of time! "Shopkeeper Liu replied with a smile and turned to look at Xiao Hua," Fellow Daoist Xiao, thank you for patronizing my store! "
"Could it be that your sect had a big unforeseen event?
Otherwise, how could Shopkeeper Liu …. be gone for so long? "Xue Xue asked casually.
"Hehe, it's nothing much. It's just that one of the sect's alchemists was killed by a cultivator, and his storage bag was taken away. We lost some pills, that's all!"
Shopkeeper Liu obviously didn't want to say too much and only said, "However, I also brought some pills that can increase one's cultivation when I returned this time. Fellow Daoists, it just so happens that I will let you two Fellow Daoists choose first. The rest will be sent to the auction the day after tomorrow!"
"The auction?" Xiao Hua was slightly surprised and thought to himself, "There's also an auction in Yan Abyss City?"
Sure enough, when Xue Xue heard this, her eyes lit up and she smiled, "That's the best. What kind of pills did Shopkeeper Liu bring back?
If they're suitable, I can get some first. If Shopkeeper Liu sends them to the auction, the price will be hard to say! "
"Hehe, the key is that when it comes to the auction, these pills will be sold in batches and can't be sold separately. Fellow Daoist Xue and Fellow Daoist Xiao will find it troublesome!"
As Shopkeeper Liu spoke, he clapped his hands and took out four jade bottles from his storage bag. He placed them on the jade table and smiled, "These are the Peiyuan Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill, Clear Ripple Pill, and Clean Lotus Pill. There are quite a few of them. Fellow Daoists, please take a look at them first!"
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, or I first?" Xue Xue glanced at Xiao Hua and smiled.
"Naturally, Fellow Daoist Xue first?" Xiao Hua smiled and said, "In front of a beauty, I don't dare to be rude!"
"Hehe ~" Xue Xue seemed to like Xiao Hua's words very much. Her eyes moved and she said, "Then I won't be polite!"
"Fellow Daoist, please!" Xiao Hua raised his hand and said.
Xue Xue looked at the quality first, so she naturally bid first. She also chose and bought the pills first!
However, did Xiao Hua care about this?
Of course not, because Xue Xue raised her hand and picked up the jade bottle containing the Peiyuan Pill.
Xue Xue poured out a Peiyuan Pill. She carefully looked at it in front of her eyes, then put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it. She then passed it to Xiao Hua and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you should also take a look."
Xiao Hua took it and carefully looked at it. This Peiyuan Pill was one size bigger than the one Xiao Yuehong refined. It was very smooth and slightly greasy in his hand. Moreover, before he could put the Peiyuan Pill to the tip of his nose, a strong medicinal fragrance assailed his nostrils.
Xiao Hua shook his head slightly in his heart. Xiao Yuehong refined the Peiyuan Pill before. Moreover, it was when Xiao Hua was guarding the furnace that Xiao Yuehong refined twenty-four Peiyuan Pills in one furnace. Those Peiyuan Pills were not very smooth. In fact, there were slight bumps and depressions that couldn't be seen clearly. If one looked at it forcefully, there seemed to be some dense talismans hidden within. Not only that, that Peiyuan Pill had a faint medicinal fragrance, but that was only "faint" and not as strong as this Peiyuan Pill.
After comparing the two, Xiao Hua knew that the quality of this Peiyuan Pill was far inferior to the one he took!
Sure enough, in just a moment, Xue Xue had already looked at all four types of pills. She turned her head and asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, what do you think of this Peiyuan Pill?
Does Fellow Daoist like it? "
Xiao Hua smiled and put the Peiyuan Pill into the jade bottle. He said, "Fellow Daoist Xue checked it first. Naturally, Fellow Daoist Xue asked first!"
"En, since Fellow Daoist Xiao is so polite, I won't be polite!" Xue Xue nodded and then asked Shopkeeper Liu, "May I know the price of this Peiyuan Pill and Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
"Fellow Daoist Xue is a frequent customer of my store. I won't deceive Fellow Daoist. This Peiyuan Pill costs one high-grade spirit stone …"
"Hiss ~" Xiao Hua didn't wait for Shopkeeper Liu to finish and unconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air. "What, does Fellow Daoist Xiao think it's too expensive?"
Shopkeeper Liu noticed and turned his head with a smile. "This cultivation increasing pill is not common in my humble store. Generally, it is used by my sect's disciples. The pills that Fellow Daoist saw were taken out by my sect as a last resort. This one high-grade spirit stone is only because you two Fellow Daoists were fated to come across it. If it was the auction the day after tomorrow, you definitely wouldn't know the price!"
"Shopkeeper Liu, what about the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Xue Xue's expression didn't change as she pointed her finger and asked.
"Oh, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is naturally cheaper. 75 mid-grade spirit stones for one pill …" Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile.
Xiao Hua was speechless. He had bought this Baptizing Marrow Dan in Jingbo City's Yi Market, and he had also bought it at the Wind Station's Yi Market. However, he had only bought it for five or ten spirit stones. Here, the price had doubled.
"En, although the price is a bit expensive, it is still a cultivation increasing pill after all. It is understandable!"
Xue Xue didn't ask about the price of the Clear Fragrance Pill and Clean Lotus Pill. She lowered her head and pondered for a while before saying, "However, Shopkeeper Liu's pills are still lacking in quality. It seems that the main ingredients for refining the pills … are not too old!"
"Fellow Daoist Xue is right. Nowadays, it is really difficult to find old ingredients. Although there is a price on the Yi Market, there is no supply.
As the saying goes, even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice, let alone refine pills! "Shopkeeper Liu smiled bitterly and spread out his hands.
"Sixty mid-grade spirit stones. I will buy ten Peiyuan Pill!" Xue Xue narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "If possible, I will also buy twenty Marrow Cleansing Pills!"
"This … Fellow Daoist Xue is really making things difficult for me. Sixty mid-grade spirit stones is a bit too little. If Fellow Daoist Xue offers eighty mid-grade spirit stones, I will also reduce the price of the Marrow Cleansing Pill to twelve mid-grade spirit stones. What do you think?" Shopkeeper Liu said unhurriedly.
"En, great!" Xue Xue clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I will do as Shopkeeper Liu says!"
Then, he took out eleven high-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them over. He smiled and said, "Don't bother looking for the sixty mid-grade spirit stones. Just give me a Foundation Elixir and I'll take it!"
"Ah?"
Xiao Hua was stunned. He began to calculate the relationship between the spirit stones and the pill in his mind. Who would have thought that Shopkeeper Liu had already laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Xue is really interesting. I already knew about Fellow Daoist Xue's habit. Even if I didn't say it, I would have given Fellow Daoist Xue an extra Peiyuan Pill!"
